¹⁷ Evesini 8, u-Isaya akasacaphuni amazwi kaJehova. Lapho elahla amanye “amagilebhisi asendle” akhiqizwa kwaJuda, yena uqobo usho umaye wokuqala kwabayisithupha: “Maye kulabo abahlanganisa indlu nenye indlu, nakulabo abathasisela insimu kwenye insimu ize ingabe isaba khona indawo futhi niye nenziwa nahlala nodwa phakathi kwezwe! UJehova wamabutho ufunge ezindlebeni zami ukuthi izindlu eziningi, nakuba zizinkulu futhi zizinhle, ziyoba yinto eshaqisayo kuphela, zingabi naye ohlala kuzo. Ngoba ngisho nesivini esingama-eka ayishumi siyothela ibhathi elilodwa kuphela, nehomere lembewu liyoveza i-efa kuphela.”—Isaya 5:8-10.

¹⁹ UJehova uthembisa ukuphundla la magovu inzuzo ayithole ngokungafanele. Izindlu abaziphuca abanye ngeke ‘zibe naye ohlala kuzo.’ Izindawo abazihahelayo ngeke zikhiqize lutho olutheni. Akushiwo ukuthi lesi siqalekiso siyogcwaliseka kanjani futhi nini. Cishe ngokwengxenye sibhekisela ezimweni ezaba umphumela wokudingiselwa eBabiloni okwakusazokwenzeka.—Isaya 27:10.
